The Dakar 2009, for the first time in South-America, and ofcourse the BMW X-raid team is competing with the worlds' top drivers and teams.
The BMW X3CC was developed in conjunction with X-raid's partners Magna Steyr in Austria. The engine is supplied and developed by BMW Motoren GmbH in Austria.
Like the years before, there are specially set-up X-raid BMW X3's (X3CC) driving around the thoughest terrain in the world.
X-raid started with 6 cars, driven by Nasser Saleh Al Attiyah (#302), Guerlain Chicherit (#306), Orlando Terranova (#315), Leonid Novitskiy (#316), Peter van Merksteijn (#318) and Rene Kuipers (#330).
Next to the X-raid team there are other BMW's competing as well: two X5CC's and one BMW TRIO prototype (based on a BMW 1 Series Coupé).
